Hmm, maybe that has to do with fewer people being on the road thanks to lockdowns, which means a higher count of car accidents? As well as several other similar scenarios for lower yearly deaths across the board.

Isn't surprising. He has a bunch of scandal around him and paying contractors and other such employees and vendors.
By this logic, I can claim that people are getting shorter because my 2 year old is only 3ft tall.
Also. The lock downs keep a lot of folks in doors. So less car deaths, less freak accidents etc

All women with c19 have ED actually
And are all men menopausing?
I thought it was sad republicans gave an idiot with no proof such a cool code name. What a waste.
Yeah, just like those fuckers had to go and ruin the Gadsden Flag and the circle game.
Mother fuckers, I’ve killed for less.

not sure about this. I read that while accidents were down the severity of them was up because people were driving faster. I did notice back when the lockdown in CT was in place (spring) traffic was down but a good % of people were flying on hwy
I googled it, so 100% true.

I noticed something.
The more people know about the world. the harder it is to maintain empathy.
There is an exponent of a few sorts that has increased rapidly, recent in human civilization:
1) The amount of bad things happening
2) The severity of bad things happening
3) The number of people or things the bad things affect
4) The knowledge available and distributed to people
It's kind of batshit when you stop to really consider this. First, compare how it may have been ~200 years ago:
1) The amount of bad things happening - probably pretty stable, of course, people getting sick without known cures, other plagues, famine wars with horses and swords and shit. Religious control of many masses
2) The severity of bad things happening - indeed, not great, but i bet most people in their individual civilizations were focused on pulling eachother through
3) The number of people or things the bad things affect - really just affected people directly, and only about a billion people were around, so not a huge number
4) The knowledge available and distributed to people - 100% personal experience or hearsay, and none of the main factors (above) should have been too hard to believe or refute
Now, consider the clusterfuck of today:
1) The amount of bad things happening - jesus christ monkeyballs!
2) The severity of bad things happening - jesus tapdancing christ!
3) The number of people or things the bad things affect - chris on a bike!
4) The knowledge available and distributed to people - oh, sweet raptor jesus
And to interject a new one that exists moreso now than before, 5) - the existential RISK for even more bad things to happen.
MY TLDR: With how much bad stuff happens and our knowledge of it, the hard (HARD!) right is a symptom of ignorance. You kind of have a few choices with how you deal with information:
a) Ignore the information (covid doesnt exist. climate change doesnt exist.)
b) Distract the information (muh freedoms, muh capitalism)
c) angry interjection (fuck those starving kids in india and africa, we should NUKE EM!!)
In short, they stop at nothing to understand the problems fully and distract themselves in any way possible so as not to actually feel feelings
More proper discourse would of course be to:
d) empathetically acknowledge the true hardships in the world, but realize you yourself cant do much about it, and deal with that
e) acknowledge, and try to do something, or atleast not be a dick
